We replaced H.264 streaming with JPEG screenshots ...
I’m surprised that H264 I-frame only compresses less than JPG.
Maybe because the basic frequency transform is 4x4 vs 8x8 for JPG?

Their h264 iframes were bigger than the jpegs because they told the h264 encoder to produce bigger images. If they had set it to produce images the same size as the jpegs it most likely would have resulted in higher quality.
